Hamsters naturally eat plants in the wild, which is why it is so nice to offer them this in their enclosure. It is important to make sure that the plants that are given are really safe for the animals. You're lucky for us! We know exactly which plants you can safely give to your animals.

Can you do hamster scaping with real plants?

The heart of the Hamsterscaper will now beat faster, because a fresh plant in the enclosure is of course the ultimate natural decoration of the hamsterscaped enclosure. We can actually go in all directions with this, depending on the soil cover. If you use a 'soil-like' ground cover such as humus, for example, you could choose to plant the plants directly in the ground. The roots will then continue to grow in the soil. This way you have a perennial plant in the enclosure. How quickly the animals eat the plant depends on each rodent species. Mice, Dwarf Hamsters and Hamsters often take it easy with the plants. Gerbils, on the other hand, are more likely to nibble on it.

You can also choose to place the plant in a pot in the enclosure when hamster scaping. An advantage of this is that the plant can be removed more easily from the enclosure to allow it to grow.

Can Hamsters and Dwarf Hamsters exhibit natural behavior thanks to fresh plants?

The plants are therefore nutritious, healthy and also have a very nice decorative function, but there is something else that we should not forget. The plants promote the natural behavior of rodents. In the wild, rodents are mainly foraging for food and rabbits are actually eating throughout the day. Herbivores (plant-eating animals) have a gastrointestinal system that can only work if new food is constantly being eaten. The new food pushes the old food through the intestines, so it is very important that rabbits have hay available all day long.

In the wild, the animals choose their own food, but a large part of the food consists of fresh plant parts. These are chosen for their fibres, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, proteins, but also for their medicinal effect. Many plants are known for their health-promoting properties. The animals know this better than anyone and in the wild they instinctively look for the right plant for an ailment.

NB! The plants are intended for consumption by rodents, not as ornamental plants for the home. Some plant knowledge is required to keep the plants alive and beautiful.
